Colchester welcomes Bridgeport to the family!

Bridgeport Machine Tool Company was recently acquired by InCompass™, the platform company of Colchester Machine Tool Solutions.

As an InCompass™ brand, Bridgeport will continue to evolve its business with the other InCompass™ manufacturing partners, contributing to the vision of creating manufactured growth solutions. The Bridgeport name and legacy live on in the form of various milling machines still in use today, as well as through the influence of its design principles on the machine tool industry.

Bridgeport, a leader in metal machining since 1938, offers exceptional CNC and manual milling solutions. Renowned for advanced metal-cutting capabilities, they cater to diverse industries like aerospace, agricultural, automotive, construction, consumer products, defence, energy, medical, technology, transportation and more. Bridgeport's product range supports various applications with precision and reliability, symbolizing excellence in the machining world. Their commitment to innovation is evident in their extensive range of CNC Vertical Machining Centres ready to ship and elevate industry standards.

Bridgeport’s first revolutionary design was the Series 1 Standard milling machine. It featured a turret-style head that could be swivelled and tilted, allowing for versatile machining operations. Bridgeport’s Series I milling machine quickly gained popularity among machinists and manufacturers due to its simplicity, versatility, and reliability. With the increased awareness of their brand, Bridgeport began to build their legacy. Over the years, Bridgeport introduced various improvements and innovations to its milling machines, such as digital readouts (DROs), CNC capabilities and other modern features, while maintaining its same reputation in the industry.

The latest Series 1 Standard Knee Mill will be present on Colchester Machine Tool Solutions’ stand at MACH 2024 exhibition between 15 – 19 April 2024. It will sit alongside Colchester’s range of renowned CNC & manual machine tools, including new Storm Vertical Milling Machines, Tornado CNC Turning Centres & the Student CNC Lathe.
